How to add watcher (customer) to an issue reporter by another customer?

Question

Hi,

I'm an agent for Jira Service Desk and have an issue created by a user/customer.

I would like to add another watcher (not agent but customer) to this specific issue as he is involved as well in this issue. I check the tread in the community but didn't find the solution.

I want that the added watcher can see all the comments in the issue, comments between me (assignee) and the user (reporter), and maybe can comment as well.

Is this possible and how can I do this?

Thanks.

Hi @[deleted],

A watcher is actually an internal user (so an agent or a JSW user).

If you want to add a Customer to the ticket (for follow up) that would be the field "Request Participants"

When you add a user there it is as if they were added using the "share with" on the customer portal

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for yoy quick reply :)

Does it mean that I have to add the field Request participants to the issue screen?
